Name: Daniel “Danny” Chamnanma

Gender: Male

Grade: 12th

School: George Hunter High School

Appearance: Danny stands at 5’6” and weighs 138 lbs with a fairly average build. He is Asian, his family originally hailing from Thailand.

Danny’s black hair tends to be naturally messy, and he generally only bothers to cut it once it starts reaching past the nape of his neck, otherwise leaving it un-styled. He has soft features, including thick eyebrows, a nose with a straight bridge but wide nostrils, and relatively full lips. His face is heart shaped, with high cheekbones. He has dark brown eyes.

Danny tends to dress fairly casually, opting for hoodies and t-shirts with generic designs and logos on them. His favourite colour is blue, and this is prevalent in his choice of hoodies, but his shirts tend to be black more often than not. For trousers, blue jeans is his go-to option, and his footwear of choice is a pair of worn black sneakers. He wears a pair of black rimmed rectangular glasses due to being far-sighted, though he does wear contacts during exercise or if he's in the mood.

On the day of the abduction, Daniel had his usual pair of black sneakers and blue jeans. He wore a black shirt with a gray windbreaker with golden streaks on the sleeves. He was wearing his glasses, but he also had a pair of contacts with him.

Biography: Pravat and Makok Chamnanma immigrated to the United States shortly after their marriage, coming from a wealthy enough background and both being fond of the country. Pravat works as an accountant, whilst Makok is a community activist. The two gave birth to Danny after three years in the country, opting to give him a Western name to help him integrate. He has lived in Tennessee his whole life, with the family only moving once when he was four years old, to the suburbs south of Frazier's Glen.

Danny’s childhood was fairly typical. He did well enough in school, though nothing spectacular, and made friends easily enough. His kind personality endeared him to the other children, and his enthusiasm for trying new things made it easy to meet people.

Makok was an adventurous cook at home, and Danny would often help her around in the kitchen. Over time, his interest in food developed beyond his home life, enjoying home economic classes at school and taking an interest in various cooking shows. Although he enjoyed learning about most types of cuisine, he was particularly drawn to the various Asian styles, feeling a connection via his family history.

His interest in baking grew from this, again through the influence of his mother. He has a particular interest in bread, as he finds it to be challenging but rewarding, and also versatile. Like with cooking, he enjoys watching a variety of baking shows with his mother.

His parents were insistent that Danny had a broad skillset for when it came time to college applications, and encouraged him to experiment with different forms of music. He found himself drawn to singing, having done so before in a school play, and took a few years of singing classes before he got bored and stopped going towards the end of middle school. He still kept up with singing in his own time, however. What drew him was the lack of a need of an actual instrument, as well as being able to sing along with songs he enjoyed.

Along with music, his parents also helped him to find sport he liked. It was again through a friend that he discovered his liking of volleyball, and decided to commit to it. Never the tallest kid, he decided to practice in the libero position, and played with a local club due to the lack of a team in his middle school. Pravat decided to use the sport as a way to bond with Danny, and the two had a tendency to practice passes in their back yard whilst talking about life.

It was also during middle school that he discovered his interest in anime and manga through people he hung out with. Whilst he’d enjoyed various cartoons and the occasional comic before then, the style of Japanese humour clicked with him, and he enjoyed both the art style and the diversity of genres. Whilst he has a particular liking for Shonen manga and anime, he’s open minded to trying just about anything.

Going into high school, he was introduced to the world of competitive video gaming, yet again through friends. Already fairly competitive from his volleyball hobby, he liked that he could play games without all the organizing volleyball needed. In particular, he was a fan of the games League of Legends and, when it was released, Overwatch. However, despite his enthusiasm, he has never been particularly good at these games, tending to lose his temper when things stop going his way and making mistakes, and has received warnings for abusing other players. He occasionally plays single player games, but is generally more interested in competing and doesn’t have much of a preference in terms of what games he plays otherwise.

Danny is not in touch with his Thai roots, and his parents haven’t done much to encourage it. They fell out with their relatives after the move, and Danny has never visited his parents’ homeland, nor does he have much knowledge of the language or the culture. He does feel that this is something he should amend, and has dabbled in the idea of visiting Thailand sometime after college. The one area that he is well versed with in Thai culture is the cuisine.

Danny’s relationship with his parents is healthy, and is equally close to both of them. He is an only child, as his parents felt that one child was enough, and as such tends to be slightly spoiled by them through a generous allowance, but that is as far as it goes.

Danny enjoys high school life. He has friends in a few circles, able to blend between different groups without much trouble through his varied interests. He tends to follow more than lead, willing to go along with the crowd and not feeling much obligation to do otherwise. Apart from being known for being somewhat immature and a sore loser, he is usually well liked by people who know him. Although he has friends who have sampled his cooking and baking and approved, he doesn't tend to mention this interest much at school due to a fear of being made fun of.

His favourite class is home economics, which he downplays, but apart from that he is also interested in world history, as he finds the origins of civilizations to be interesting. He also has an interest in economics, as he feels it gives him perspective on how the world works. He is not fond of art or English, as he isn’t particularly creative. Grade wise, he maintains a solid B average with the occasional rise into A grades when he pushes himself.

He is a member of the anime club, gaming club and cooking club at George Hunter High, though he is only a regular attendee at the latter. He is also the team captain for the male volleyball team.

He still enjoys singing, and hopes to join a band at some point. His favourite styles of music are those that fall into the family of metal, and his favourite band is Dir En Grey.

He currently plans to go to college to study economics, though he is undecided on where yet. Whilst he is fine with this, he would rather pursue a career in the culinary field. However, he appreciates that this is a somewhat risky pursuit, and is apprehensive at the thought of working in an intense environment like a kitchen. Regardless, he has a part time job at The Blue House Cafe and Diner as a waiter, which he considers good practice for if he does try to break into the field later.

Advantages: Danny is versatile, being capable in a variety of areas. He has good social skills, is reasonably intelligent, and exercises regularly. He is also acquainted with a number of diverse social groups at the school.

Disadvantages: Danny lacks notable strengths in any single field so whilst he is capable, he will struggle to overcome anyone who is skilled in a particular area. He tends to take competition too seriously at times leading to reckless decisions. He is also known to have a toxic personality when in a competitive environment which could impact his relationships with allies. He also tends to follow rather than take the lead.

Designated Number: Male Student No. 31

Designated Weapon: Flare Gun

Conclusion: Should I make a joke about getting a weapon as hot as his temper? Regardless, B031 makes a good everyman if nothing else. I don't expect he'll make it, but these type of guys sometimes surprise you. - Christina Stockton
